Before you begin using this manual, it is important that you understand the meaning of the following symbols.
U
L
These notes include specific information that must be followed if you are installing this system for
a UL Listed application.
These notes include information that you should be aware of before continuing with the
installation, and which, if not observed, could result in operational difficulties.
These notes warn of conditions that could seriously affect the operation of the system, or coul d
cause damage to the system. Please read each warning carefully. This symbol also denotes
warnings about physical harm to the user
The following system feature are supplied in Version 1:
Exit Bypass – This feature allows any delay zone or interior that is violated at the end of exit
time to be bypassed for that armed period if the bit is set. This feature, if enabled, takes
precedence over exit error (question 26, location 4, bit 3).
Pager/Follow-Me – This feature allows the end user to access a user-programmable phone
number that can serve as a pager number or forwarding (site) number where the user can receive
digital messages from the OMNI-408A that are a result of programmable events occurring on the
system.
Bell Test from RF Keyfobs – This feature, if enabled, will activate bell test on arming/disarming
only from keyfobs. Arming/disarming from the keypad via user codes or quick function will not trip
the bell test (question 05, location 4, bit 2).
RF Board Detect – The panel senses if the ZR401 RF board is attached to the control panel. This
option is only viewable through the downloader.
Bell Test on Arming – If the "bell test chirp" is selected (question 08, location 1, bit 3) Bell Test
on Arm provides a single Bell chirp when arming and a double chip on disarming.
Strobe Trigger – Allows the trigger output to Pulse with the same timing as the Bell Test option
(chirp or non-chirp).
Limited Access to Programming – Prevents the installer from accessing questions 01 through
03 and 09 and 10 in keypad programming. This feature is set in the downloader only.
RF Programming Using Bypass Key – This feature, if enabled, allows access to RF
programming by pressing the [Bypass] key and the 2-digit RF question number. Otherwise the
method is to press [*] [#] and the 2-digit RF question number.
Recent Panic – If enabled in question 37, location 4, when the Panic is pressed on a keyfob
followed by an arm or disarm function within a 1-minute window, the panel sends a recent panic
code to the central station.
Exit Programming Central Station Report – This feature, if enabled, sends a code to the
central station when exiting keypad programming.

remotely using the EZ-Mate PC Downloader Software. In addition, the software can perform
remote control actions (arming, disa rming, bypassing, etc.). Programming opt ions are stored
in nonvolatile reprogrammable EEPROM memory, which prevents information from being
lost in the event of a complete loss of power. Other features of the OMNI-408A include:
• 8 Zones (4 hardwired or up to 8 wireless)
• On-board RF receiver compatible with ADEMCO 5800 Series Transmitters
• Up to 6 remote wireless keyfobs for quick one-button commands
• Capacity for up to 4 XK-108 keypads
• 6 user codes with capability for Ambush code and an arm-only user
• Dedicated Bell Supervision input
• Temporal Bell option for fire sound
• 4 selectable keypad emergency conditions
• Upload/download with remote commands with answering machine bypass
• Unattended and on-line downloading
• Default Lockout option to prevent hostile account takeovers
• Quick Arming, Quick Forced Arming, and Quick Bypass options
• Arm Faulted Quick Arming
• Quick Exit
• Indications on keypad for AC loss, low battery and communication failure
• Additional CS reporting formats (ADEMCO 4X2 Express and ADEMCO Point ID)
• Real-time, AC-based system clock
• Central station reporting for alarms, troubles, restores, bypasses, openings, closings,
Refer to the Summary of Connections diagram in
visual information concerning the wiring and hookup of the OMNI-408A. The connections
shown meet Household Fire / Burglar Alarm System standards set by UL (UL985 and
UL1023).

System Stabilization Mode
Upon initial power-up of the system, all of the lights on the LED keypad(s) will go ON and
then go OFF for approximately 2 minutes, 10 seconds if the system was last armed. This
system stabilization mode occurs on a total power-up, on a system reset, or after completion
of system programming. If the total system power is lost, then upon power restoral the
system will return to the previous arming state. The 2-minute, 10-second interval is used to
allow motion detectors (in interior zones) to stabilize on power-up in order to prevent false
alarms. PUTTING A MOMENTARY JUMPER BETWEEN TERMINAL 15 AND 16 ON
POWER-UP CAN DISABLE THIS OPTION. IF DISABLED, THE POWER-UP RESET TIME
IS APPROXIMATELY 5 SECONDS. This is a normal condition.

wire at a distance not to exceed 15 feet from the panel, to an
unswitched 120VAC outlet.
Do not use any other transformer, as this may result in
improper operation or damage to the unit.
The AC/LB keypad LED will remain on while AC power is
present. If an AC loss occurs, the AC/LB LED turns off
immediately. If AC power remains off for 15 minutes, the
system pulses the keypad buzzer (if enabled in Programming
question 07, location 4, bit 2) and transmits a power-loss
message to the central station, if programmed to do so. THE
KEYPAD BUZZER CAN BE SILENCED by entry of any valid
user code. When AC restores, the AC/LB LED lights
immediately, and a Restore code is reported, if programmed.
Connect this grounding lug to a cold-water pipe utilizing
#18awg wire at a distance of no greater than 15 ft. Use a
non-corrosive metal strap firmly secured to the pipe to which
the lead is electrically connected and secured. If the
premises' pipes terminate in PVC, this terminal must be
connected to a 6-foot grounding rod.
11.5 - 13.1VDC. These terminals deliver CONSTANT output
on BURGLARY, AUDIBLE PANIC, and BELL TEST. On a
FIRE condition, a PULSED or TEMPORAL output can be
generated. There are separate bell cutoff times
programmable for burglary and fire conditions within the
programming sequence. For UL Household Fire Warning
System installations, the speaker must be mounted indoors
for best audibility. Also, for UL installations, use only one
speaker.
NOTE: Before connecting sounding devices, consult their
specifications for proper current draw. Otherwise, the bell
fuse (F1) may be blown.
The bell output may be supervised when a conventional bell
or a self-contained siren is connected. When connecting a
conventional bell or a self-contained siren to the bell output
terminals (4 and 5), the jumper JP3 must be placed across
pins 1 and 2. When connecting an external siren driver to the
bell output terminals, the supervision wire is connected to the
siren supervision terminal of the siren driver, and the jumper
JP3 must be placed across pins 3 and 4. A supervisory
condition generates a pulsing keypad sounder. Also, the
supervisory LED on the keypad pulses. Entering a valid user
code while the system is disarmed silences the sounder. The
LED continues to pulse until the supervision is fixed. If a bell,
self-contained siren, or external siren driver is not connected
to the bell output terminals, a 100-ohm resistor must be
placed across the siren supervision input to prevent a bell
supervision error. Bell supervision is reported to the CS if
enabled.

Smoke Detector Power:
This system accepts 9.5 - 12VDC 4wire smoke detectors only. Approximately 50mA of current
are available at these terminals for powering all detectors and
an EOL relay FBII Model 620. For UL installations, see wiring
diagram for hookup.
These terminals adhere to the fire verification and reset logic.
You can reset the smoke detector power manually by
entering a valid user code after clearing alarm memory or by
using the asterisk [*] key.
Trigger 1 Output:
These terminals which are commonly wired
to trigger 1, can be used for a trigger output. See
programming question 28, locations 1 and 2 for valid trigger
types.
5(-) & 8(+)Regulated
Power (11.5
- 13.1VDC):
The total regulated output power for motion detectors and
other external devices is 500mA at 11.8 - 12.5V for
residential applications, or 12.0 - 12.5V for commercial
applications, with less than 100 mVPP ripple. The total
regulated output capacity of the OMNI-408A includes the
power available from these terminals (8 and 5) as well as the
power used by the keypads and smoke detectors. Therefore,
to determine the total power available from these terminals,
subtract the power consumed by the keypads and smoke
detectors.

BACKUP BATTERY:
The Red (+) and Black (-) flying leads must be connected to a 12VDC 4-7AH gell cell, to serve
as backup power in the event of AC loss.
A battery test occurs approximately every 4.5 minutes. Low-battery condition occurs at
nominal 11VDC. The keypad AC/LB LED and buzzer will pulse slowly when a low-battery
condition is detected. The system reports this condition to the central station if programmed
to do so. Battery restoral occurs within 4.5 minutes, at the NEXT battery test. The buzzer
may be silenced by entry of any valid user code.
POOL ZONE CONNECTIONS:
Zone 4 can be used for the Pool Zone option. To use Zone 4 for the Pool Zone option, all doors
with direct access to the pool shall be equipped with an alarm that produces an audible
warning when the door and its screen are opened. The alarm will sound continuously for a
minimum of 30 seconds immediately after the door is opened, and must be capable of being
heard throughout the house during normal household activities. The alarm automatically
resets under all operating conditions. The momentary switches provide temporary alarm
deactivation (15 seconds) so that the door can be opened without the alarm sounding.
When the Pool Zone option has been selected, Zone 4 operates as a standard delay zone when
the system is armed and the momentary switches start the entry time.
Figure 1 shows the wiring connections needed to use Zone 4 as a Pool Zone.

**If devices such as PIRs, smoke detectors, etc. are used, refer to the specifications for t hat
particular device's current draw. If the total current draw exceeds 500mA, then use an
additional power supply.
NFPA, UL, and the California State Fire Marshal require the backup battery to provide power for
24 hours. The maximum aux. power will vary by the ampere/hour rating of the battery used:
5AH = 95mA; 7AH = 180mA; 8AH = 210mA.

• Chime — Steady 1-second tone (SYSTEM DISARMED ONLY).
• Acknowledge — Upon successful entry of certain commands, the system sounds for
approximately half a second.
• Pulsing — A pulsing sound (approximately half a second on, then off) indicates a trouble
condition such as AC loss, low battery, or a fire zone.
• Negative Acknowledgement — Upon entry of an illegal command, the keypad sounds
four short beeps. For exampl e, if you are attempting to define a new user and the Master
User is not entered, four short beeps indicate that the command was unsuccessful.
• Sounder Ringback — Several short beeps indicate successful communication to the
central station. This occurs for all signals, excluding ambush and silent zones.
• Fast-Pulsing Sounder — Sound generated during entry time period AFTER an alarm
condition has occurred and the system has reached bell cutoff. A pulsing sounder will
follow the bell output on fire conditions. Trouble conditions also generate a pulsing
sounder, and may be silenced through entry of a valid user code.
The keypad is non-operational if none of the LEDs are lit and the keypad does not beep when
keys are pressed. This is an indication that service is required.
When the system is in an armed state only, it may enter System Stabilization Mode. This
occurs upon power-up of the system, and causes all of the LEDs on the keypad(s) to light, and
then go off for approximately 2 minutes, 10 seconds (if system was previously armed). This
occurs on a total power-up, system reset, or after completion of system programming. If t otal
system power is lost, upon power restoral, the system returns to the previous arming state.
The 2-minute, 10-second interval is used to allow motion detectors (in interior zones) to
stabilize on power-up in order to prevent false alarms. THIS OPTION CAN BE DISABLED
BY PUTTING A MOMENTARY JUMPER BETWEEN TERMINAL 15 AND 16 ON POWERUP. IF DISABLED, THE POWER-UP RESET TIME IS APPROXIMATELY 5 SECONDS.
This is a normal condition.
Arming the System
The system can be armed only if all burglary zones are not faulted. On LED-based keypads,
this requires that the READY LED be on. Arm faulted is only allowed for delay or interior
zones if enabled in programming question 05, location 2.
To arm: Enter any programmed 4-digit user code.
NOTE: The factory default for user code no. 1 is 1234.
The ARM LED lights and the user may exit through an exit/entry zone for the time period
programmed as the exit delay. The system can be armed without the backup battery being
connected; however, the AC/LB LED will flash.
Stay Arming
To arm: Press the [Stay] key followed by a 4-digit user code.
The ARM and Stay LEDs light on LED-based keypads.
The system is armed at this time, with all programmed Stay zones excluded.
6–1
Page 24
OMNI-408A Installation and Setup Guide
Stay/Instant Arming
To arm: Press the [Instant] key followed by the [Stay] key and a 4-digit user code.
The Stay/Instant mode arms the system with the characteristics of both the Instant and Stay
modes. The system is armed with the interior zones bypassed and the delay zones instant.
LED keypads will have the ARM, Stay, and Instant LEDs lit.
NOTE: This option is enabled in programming question 08, location 3.
Disarming
To disarm: Press any valid 4-digit user code. The ARM LED goes out.
If an alarm condition exists or occurred while the system was armed, the zone LED(s) and
the READY LED blink rapidly. This Alarm Memory condition can be cleared by entering a
valid user code or using the [*] key, if programmed.
Reset
After an alarm occurs, the system enters Alarm Memory mode either after bell timeout or by
a user entering a valid user code silencing the bell and keypad buzzer. The alarm memoryand communications failure can be cleared by entering a valid user code. If a fire
alarm occurs, then clearing Alarm Memory resets the smoke detectors for approximately 8
seconds.
In addition, you can use the [*] key to act as a fire reset.
Bypass
Bypassing is performed to temporarily exclude zones that are faulty or not ready from
activating the system.
If Quick Bypass is not enabled, then press the [Bypass] key followed by any valid 4-digit user
code followed a number from 1 to 8, which represents the zone to be bypassed.
Example: To bypass Zone 2 (assuming a user code of 1234), press:
[Bypass] [1] [2] [3] [4] [2]
Subsequent Bypasses
Can be made by pressing the [Bypass] key and then pressing another zone number within a
10-second period. After this 10-second period, the entire command, including the user code,
must be entered.
After a successful bypass, an acknowledge beep sounds at the keypad sounder, and the
respective zone LED blinks slowly.
The bypass rules are:
• Fire zones cannot be bypassed.
• 24-hour zones can be bypassed; however, they cannot be unbypassed if they are violated.
• Zones can only be bypassed while the system is disarmed, at which time visual indication
is displayed.
•Bypass signals are transmitted to the central station UPON ARMING if a Bypass code
has been programmed.
6–2
Zones that are bypassed are not protected when the system is armed.
Page 25
Quick Bypass
Quick Bypass is a programmable option (see question 05, location 3 of the programming
sequence) and allows the user to bypass zones without using a user code.
Press the [Bypass] key followed by a number from 1 to 8, which represents the zone to be
bypassed.
Example: To bypass zone 2, enter:
[Bypass] [2]
Exit Bypass
Exit Bypass is a programmable option (see question 26, location 4 of the programming
sequence) and if set, any delay zone or interior that is violated at the end of exit time will be
bypassed for that armed period. This feature, if select ed, takes precedence over exit error.
Auto Unbypass
All burglary zones that are bypassed can be automatically unbypassed upon system disarm.
24-hour zones that have been bypassed are unbypassed only if they are normal.
This feature is ALWAYS enabled.
Manual Unbypass
Section 6 - System Operations
This function removes an existing bypass from a currently bypassed zone. The procedure is
the same as Bypass.
User Code Programming
User codes can be entered or modified directly through the keypad. The system contains up
to six user codes (4 digits each) with the following applications:
NOTES:
1. User Number 1 - programs all user codes (1-6); cannot be deleted.
2. User Number 5 - can be programmed as an arm-only user in question 05, location 4. This
means that the user code can only arm but not disarm the system. Typically, this is used
for a maid service or any person with limited access.
3. User Number 6 - can be programmed as an Ambush code if there is an Ambush CS
transmission code programmed into question 19, locations 1 and 2. In this mode, entry of
the user number 6 code will Arm or Disarm the system and transmit the Ambush code to
the central station. Furthermore, if opening/closing by user reporting is programmed,
user number 6 will be reported along with the Ambush code. If no CS code is defined in
question 19, then user number 6 will be a normal user code.

There is no visual indication with this feature, onl y an acknowledgement tone upon pressing
[#] [8].
On-Line Download [#] [9]
If programmed (see programming question 05, location 4), the user can initiate a remote
communications session with the CS downloading computer at the control panel. Typically, a
remote communications session is initiated by the CS. On-line downloading allows the user
to call the office, discuss the action required, and allow the CS operator to complete the
request while on-line. No additional telephone call is needed. On-line connection can be made
as follows:
StageWhat Happens
1The user dials the CS downloading modem telephone line from the premises
telephone line that the alarm system uses. Connection is made with a person at the
CS downloading computer, and the account to be downloaded is verbally identified.
The CS computer attempts to establish a connection with the site.

OMNI-408A Installation and Setup Guide
Installer Mode 1 (System Default)
You can initiate a system default through the keypad by pressing the [1] and [3] keys at the
same time while in the Programming mode. The system will then default (revert to factoryprogrammed values) and go through the reset sequence. You can also initiate a system
default by removing power (AC and DC), shorting JP1 and JP2, reapplying power (with JP1
and JP2 still intact) waiting 8 seconds, and then removing the short with power still applied.
NOTE: You can select a programming option through the EZ-Mate Downloader Software
called Default Lockout. If you select it, a system default reset will change all of the
programmable options with the exception of the CS ID (a code used by the software to
identify the panel during remote connections) and the Installer code. This prevents hostile
account takeovers.
Installer Mode 1 (User Code Default)
The user codes can be reset to factory default values (User Code 1 = 1234) by pressing the [7]
and [9] keys at the same time while in the Programming mode. The user codes will default
and the system will go through the reset sequence.
Installer Mode 1 (RF Programming)
You can enter the RF Programming mode by pressing [Bypass] XX or [*] [# ] XX, where XX is
01 to 14 and selects the desired RF Programming question number. Refer to Section 10:Programming Questions - RF Programming for specific information.
When RF Programming mode is entered, the question number LEDs will blink rapidly.
Installer Mode 3 (Unattended Download)
The Unattended Download function allows the control panel to dial the telephone number of
CS downloading computer so that the control panel can be downloaded without having the
operator present. The CS downloading computer telephone number is programmed into the
callback number (question 03) and an unattended identification number is programmed into
the secondary telephone (question 02).
NOTE: These are temporary values, as they will be reprogrammed after downloading.
Unattended Download requires the following sequence:
1. The PC operator must select UNATTENDED DOWNLOAD in the Downloader Software
Main Menu.
3. The system now enters keypad programming at question 01. Enter the telephone number
of the central station downloading computer. Enter [#] after each digit; for example:
press [1] [#] [2] [#] [3] [#]. You can enter up to 16 digits. This phone number should be the
same as the CS callback number (question 03 from Keypad Programming if the panel is
programmed for callback).
4. Go to programming question 02 by entering [*] [0] [2]. Enter the desired account number,
following each digit with [#]. This will be used by the CS downloading computer to
determine the proper account information to download to this subscriber. The account
number must be 6 digits in length. The downloader's account designator, not the account
number, will be communicated to the receiver. For ID's less than 6 digits long, you must
enter leading 0's to make the number 6 digits long. Example: For ID 345, enter [0] [#] [0]
[#] [0] [#] [3] [#] [4] [#] [5] [#].
8–2

Press the [Stay] key to exit Programming mode. The control panel now dials the
downloading computer telephone number entered into the callback number. (If you have
not already selected the Unattended Communications option from the main menu of the
downloading computer, select it before continuing.) Upon connection with the computer,
the system obtains the customer account number programmed in step 3 and performs the
desired download operation.
NOTE: The CS downloading computer must be waiting in the Unattended Communications
option and preprogrammed with the account i n formation in order for the Unattended
Download to be functional.
Installer Mode 4 (On-Line Download)
In this mode, the installer can initiate a remote communications session with the CS
Downloading computer at the control panel location. Typically, a remote communications
session is initiated by the CS. On-line downloading allows the installer to call the office (from
the same telephone line as the panel), discuss the action required, and allow the CS operator
to complete the request while on-line. No additional telephone call is needed. On-line
connection can be made as follows:
1. After completing the installation, attach a handset to the telco terminals (tip and ring) or
use a standard home telephone to dial the CS downloading modem telephone line.
Connection is made with a person at the CS downloading computer and the account to be
downloaded is verbally identified. The downloading computer operator selects “On-line
Remote Operations” from the Device menu.
2. Enter the on-line download sequence: [Code] [*] Installer Code, [4] or use the end-user
command of [#] [9], if enabled. This causes the control panel to react as if it has received
a request for a remote communications session, and to look for the standard panel to CS
protocol.
3. Once the standard connection is made, the necessary remote communications sessions
can take place (Upload, Download, and Remote commands).
4. Hang up the telephone or remove headset from the line to prevent interference that may
affect upload/download data. The downloader software automatically terminates the
connection after remote communications end.
Section 8 - Installer Modes
Installer Mode 5 (Walk Test - Reduced Gain Mode)
This mode tests the RF receiver in a Reduced Gain mode. This mode is maintained until the
[Stay] key is pressed. The keypad displays this mode by pulsing the ARM, AC/LB, and
READY LEDs. An LED that is steadily on indicates the zone that is currently faulted. A
blinking LED indicates the zone has restored. The keypad sounder is activated on faulting
and restoring of zones. To exi t, press the [Stay] key to cause a complete system reset.
All RF zones must be returned to normal before exiting Walk Test mode (i.e., doors and windows
should be closed). If these RF zones are not returned to normal, they will be displayed as normal
even though they are actually faulted.
You can program the system in either of the following methods:
• Directly, through the keypad
• Remotely, using the EZ-MATE PC DOWNLOADER Model 7700
U
L
The EZ-Mate Downloader has not been tested for UL applications.
This section describes how to program the system through the keypad. (The EZ-MATE PC

OR PAGER FOLLOW-ME NUMBER
Using the table in question 01 to determine valid digits, enter the telephone number
(including area code and/or dialing prefix, if necessary) of the secondary central station
receiver or a Pager Follow-Me number in L1 - L16.
The secondary telephone number is used if the panel is unable to reach the central station
via the primary number. This is known as BACKUP reporting. If the SPLIT REPORTING
feature is programmed, then opening and cl osing signals are directed to the secondary CS
phone number only, while all other conditions are reported to the primary number.
If enabled in question 08, location 4 and question 26, location 4, the Pager Follow-Me number
is used as a pager number or forwarding (site) number where the user can receive digital
messages from the OMNI-408A that are a result of programmable events occurring on the
system.
The pager number can be programmed here or via the end user method using the [#] [5] [8] keys.

Section 9 - System Programming
Refer to
If neither split nor backup reporting is necessary, or if the Pager Follow-Me feature is not
desired, this question may be left at the factory default values and all conditions will be
routed to the primary telephone number only.
Using the table in question 01 to determine valid digits, enter the telephone number
(including area code and/or dialing prefix, if necessary) for this control panel to reach the
callback location. The callback number is the optional location of the EZ-Mate Downloader
where the control panel calls during a remote communications (upload/download, etc.)
session. During remote communications, the programming device and the control panel will
first confirm the CS security code. If it is valid, communications can begin. If you have
programmed a callback number, the control panel hangs up and dials the callback number.
NOTE: If you do not want callback capability, enter AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Burglary (Controlled) Zones
DELAY - This is the industry standard exit/entry zone. When the system is armed, exit time
begins. After the exit time expires, any violation of this zone begins entry time. If the system
is not disarmed within the programmed entry time, an alarm occurs. The keypad sounder
annunciates steadily during entry time, unless there has been an alarm condition, in which
case it pulses. Delay zones activate instantly when the system is armed using the
Stay/Instant mode, if enabled. Delay zones employ the Exit Error Warning feature described
below.
INTERIOR - All interior zones have exit delay time upon system arming. Furthermore, all
interior zones have entry delay time if a delay zone is violated first. If this zone is violated
first, however, it generates an immediate alarm. Interior zones are bypassed if the system is
armed in the Stay mode. Interior zones employ the Exit Error Warning feature described in
the note below.
PERIMETER - This zone type (sometimes known as Instant) generates an alarm when
violated while the system is armed.
EXIT ERROR WARNING - When a user code is entered to arm the system, the
burglary bell and keypad sounder are turned on during the entry and exit times.
Burglary Zone Options
RESTORE - This option is selected for all burglary zones by enabling the Restore report
code (question 19, location 2) and enabling zone Restores in question 04, location 4. The
programmed Restore code will be reported upon bell cutoff, assuming the loop is restored,
unless Restore Follows Loop is selected in question 05, location 4. The Restore code will also
be reported if the system is disarmed during an alarm.
U
L
NOTE: Restore is not selectable by zone.
BYPASS IN STAY - This option allows zones to be bypassed when the system is armed in
the Stay mode.
CHIME - If this option is selected, the keypad sounder will annunciate for 1 second when
this zone is violat ed in the disarmed mode.
DIALER DELAY - If this option is selected, the system will allow a 15-second delay (or 30
seconds, as per question 04, location 4) before dialing, allowing the end user to abort the
transmission. If this option is not selected, any alarm condition results in an immediate
transmission that cannot be aborted.
For UL installations, Dialer Delay may not be used.
DAY FEATURE - If a zone with this option is violated while the system is disarmed, the
keypad sounder and zone LED pulse for as long as the violation remains. In addition, if the
violation remains for 15 seconds, the System Trouble Code is transmitted to the central
station. The sounder can be silenced through entry of any valid user code. While the system
is armed, a day zone acts as an alarm when violated.
9–20
Page 55
Zones 1-8 can be programmed for any one of the following 24-hour zone types:
24-Hour Zones
FIRE - Fire zones on the system contain Fire Verification Logic. Upon detection of the first
violation, smoke detector power is reset for a period of 8 seconds. After this time period,
power is restored. For 5 seconds the fire zone will not be scanned, allowing the smoke
detectors to settle. Future violations within a 2-minute period will result in a pulsing bell
output, rapid pulsing zone LED, and immediate transmission to the central station. Fire
signals cannot be aborted.
Entry of any valid user code silences the sounder and bell, and resets smoke detector power.
If the system detects that the fire zone is still violated within 2 minutes after power reset,
the zone LED pulses slowly to indicate a fire trouble. Thereafter, smoke detector power is
reset every 4 minutes automatically in an attempt to clear the fire zone.

Zone Alarm Codes
As specified previously, locations L3 and L4 of the zone quest ions represent the Alarm code
that is reported to the central station.
NOTE: Zones transmit to the central station unless these digits are defined as AA
for any individual zone; or unless the local dialer option is selected for all zones in
question 04, location 3.
Based on the dialer format selected, enter the Alarm code as follows:
STANDARD FORMAT(3X1 or 4X1): Enter the desired single-digit Alarm code in
location L3 for the specific zone. The value placed in L4 is not used.
EXTENDED (3X1 Ext. or 4X1 Ext.): Enter the desired first digit of the Alarm code for
the specific zone in location L3. Enter the second digit in L4.
PARTIAL EXTENDED (3X1 Part. Ext. or 4X1 Part. Ext.): Enter the desired digit in
both locations L3 and L4 for the specific zone. This generates a single-digit transmission
for alarms and troubles (the second digit is not used) and an extended transmission for
all system conditions such as restores, bypasses, openings/closings, etc. (the second digit
is used).
3X2 or 4x2: Enter the desired first digit of the Alarm code in location L3 and the second
digit in L4 for the specific zone. Both digits are used for all transmissions.
ADEMCO 4X2 EXPRESS: Enter the desired first digit of the Alarm code into the first
location and the second digit into the second location.
ADEMCO POINT ID (PID) Format: The digit entered in the first location selects the
PID Event code to be transmitted; refer to Appendix A for the PID Event Codes to be

QUESTION 20
CS CODES for PANIC and LOW BATTERYDEFAULT = 8ACA
There are 4 locations (L1-L4) in this question:
Question 20, L1 & L2 - Panic CodeDefault = 8A
The same rules for programming regarding dialer format apply here. If transmissions are
not desired, program AA in locations L1 and L2.
NOTE: Panic transmissions are immediate and not abortable.
The same rules for programming regarding dialer format apply here. If transmissions are
not desired, program AA in locations L3 and L4. Low-battery transmissions are reported
4 minutes after detection. Low-Battery Restore Code is reported within 4 minutes after
detection of good battery condition.
QUESTION 21
CS CODES for OPEN/CLO SE and CS TESTDEFAULT = AA1A
There are 4 locations (L1-L4) in this question:
Question 21, L1 - Opening CodeDefault = A
Question 21, L2 - Closing CodeDefault = A
L1 is the single-digit Opening code. L2 is the single-digit Closing code. Entry of AA into
these two locations means that openings and closings are not desired. If a dialer format
other than standard is programmed, the second digit transmitted is the user number.
Question 21, L3 & L4 - CS Test CodeDefault = 1A
L3 - L4 is the CS Test code. The CS Test code is transmitted at the interval selected in
question 07, location 3.
NOTE: Any digit entered is transmitted unless CS Test is disabled; to disable CS Test,
see question 07, location 3.
QUESTION 22
CS CODES for BYPASS, RESTORE, TROUBLE and CANCELDEFAULT = A1FA
There are 4 locations (L1-L4) in this question:
Question 22, L1 - Bypass CodeDefault = A
L1 is the single-digit system Bypass code that upon arming is reported to the central
station if a zone is bypassed. Entry of an “A” means that bypasses are not to be
transmitted. If a 2-digit dialing format has been selected, the Bypass code is followed by
the programmed second digit of the Zone code.
Question 22, L2 - Restore CodeDefault = 1
L2 is the single-digit system Restore code reported to the central station. Restores are
reported for all burglary or 24-hour zones by enabling this code (digits 0-9, B-F), and
enabling zone restores in question 04, location 3. Entry of an “A” means that restores are
not to be transmitted. If a 2-digit dialer format has been programmed the Restore code is
followed by the programmed second digit of the Zone code.
9–24
NOTE: Restore is not selectable by zone.
Page 59
Section 9 - System Programming
Question 22, L3 - Trouble CodeDefault = F
L3 is the single-digit system Trouble code reported to the central station. This code is
reported on day trouble and fire trouble. If a 2-digit format has been programmed this
code is followed by the second digit of the respective Zone code.
Question 22, L4 - Cancel CodeDefault = A
L4 is the single-digit system Cancel code reported to the central station. This code is sent
if a user code is entered after a violation of a controlled zone. If the zone is still violated,
entry of a user code transmits the Cancel code. If the zone is programmed for restoral,
then the Restore code is transmit ted when the loop status has returned to normal. Entry
of an “A” in this field indicates that Cancel codes are not transmitted. In formats
requiring 2 digits, the user number functions as the second digit.
QUESTION 23
CS CODES for KEYPAD FIRE and KEYPAD AUXILIARYDEFAULT = 2AAA
L1 and L2 are the Alarm code that is transmitted upon activation of the Keypad Fire
condition (pressing the two Fire keys or the [7] [9] keys on the keypad). This code can
vary from any of the zones that are programmed as Fire.
L3 and L4 are the code transmitted to the CS for Keypad Aux. condition (pressing the
two Aux. keys or [1] [3] from the keypad).
NOTE: These keypad emergency conditions are optional and can be enabled within question
05 of the programming sequence. If either or both of these transm issions are not desired,
program their respective locations as “AA.”
NOTE: In any question 25 location, if a 2-digit format has been programmed the second digit
of the respective Zone code follows this code.

RF zone numbers must begin after assigned hardwired zone numbers. For example, if zones 1
through 4 were hardwired, the first RF zone number assigned is 5.
Any zone using an RF point must be enabled in this question so that the system knows
where to look for zone data.
To disable a RF point that has been previously programmed:
1. Remove the RF enable for the appropriate zone in question 26; and
2. Make the first 2 digits in the RF programming for that zone “00.”
Question 26, L3 - Disable AccountDefault = A
This option is enabled when L3 is set to D. All other entries for L3 will not enable this
option. While this option is enabled, the system does not arm; and the Reporting code is
transmitted, with user number trying to arm (if the dialer format requires it), to the CS.
If the format is CID, the code for this event is 551 (Dialer Disabled Event code).

EXIT PROGRAM CS REPORTING - The Exit Program CS Reporting feature is enabled
by placing an event code in question 37, locations 1 and 2. A letter "A" in location 1 disables
the feature. Once enabled, this code is sent ONLY upon exiting keypad programming, by
pressing the [Stay] [1] [3] (default), or [7] [9] (user default) keys. The feature is NOT affected
by the following: remote upload/download, power down/up, hardwire default, system reset,
and entering or exiting other installer modes such as walk test, unattended, and online
download.
EXIT ERROR CS REPORTING - The Exit Error CS Reporting feature is enabled in
question 37, location 3. A letter "A" disables the CS report. During an exit error, this code is
sent after the control panel's entry time expires and the zone goes into alarm. If the system is
9–33
Page 68
OMNI-408A Installation and Setup Guide
disarmed before entry time expires, the Exit Error code is not sent. If an alarm results, the
zones Alarm code is sent before the Exit Error code.
RECENT PANIC CS REPORTING - This feature is intended to reduce false alarms.
Enable this feature by placing a CS Report code other than "A" in question 37, location 4.
This feature involves only the use of the Model 5804 RF key. This CS code is sent if a
(5804) panic alarm occurs followed within 1 minute by a (5804) arm/disarm type event. The
5804 arm/disarm programmable events include disarm, force arm, force stay arm, force
instant arm, and force stay/instant arm.
Tripping an RF panic starts the 1-minute timer. At this time, the control panel attempts to
send a keypad panic. If an RF arm or disarm event occurs within 1 minute, the panel sends
the Recent Panic CS code upon the execution of the RF arm or disarm.
NOTE: Subsequent RF arms or disarms will not cause additional Recent Panic CS
transmissions.
If the 1-minute timer expires without an RF arm or disarm, the Recent Panic code (recent
close (459) if PID) is not sent, only the initial Panic code.

This security system is designed to transmit data to a central station receiver when an
alarm, system trouble, or an opening/closing occurs. Due to the many different types of CS
receivers on the market, this system can transmit data in various formats. Each installing
company determines which format best suits its needs based on many factors. Of these, the
CS receiver type is a major factor.
StageWhat Happens
1
The system’s digital communicator seizes the home phone lines. Then it dials the CS #1
telephone number (programming question 01).
2
When the CS receiver picks up the ringing phone line, it transmits a “handshake”
frequency (1400Hz, 2300Hz, or HiLo) back to the digital communicator.
3After receiving the “handshake” frequency, the digital communicator transmits the data
in the format programmed in question 04 (either in Pulse or DTMF).
4Assuming the CS receiver verifies the data transmission as valid (after 2 successful
rounds of data or 1 valid parity round), it transmits a “kissoff” frequency back to the
digital communicator. This causes the communicator to stop transmitting, unless more
data is available, in which case additional data transmissions and “kissoffs” occur.
5After the final “kissoff,” the CS receiver releases the phone line and processes the data
to its display and associated peripherals (computer and printer). If for any reason the
digital communicator does not receive the “kissoff,” it proceeds to dial the CS #2
telephone number or to redial the CS #1 telephone number (if CS #2 is not used). It
continues to dial (8 times for each CS telephone number programmed) until a “kissoff” is
received. If, after dialing 8 times for each CS telephone number programmed, a “kissoff”
is not received, the system displays “Communication Failure” at the keypad. Thi s
message is cleared after the next successful transmission or by the user at the keypad.
The following is a general description of the various formats transmitted by this system.
Standard (3X1 or 4X1)
The Standard Reporting Format: AAA E or AAAA E
Where:
AAAA = 3- or 4-digit account number (Program Questions 09 and 10)
E = Single-digit Event code; it is the first of the 2 programmable Reporting code digits
Standard format is transmitted in Pulse and involves a 3- or 4-digit account number followed
by a single-digit Event code. It can be transmitted with parity (1 round of data) or without
parity (2 rounds of data). A disadvantage of this format is that it can transmit only a total of
15 event codes (0 - 9, B - F) without identifying zones or users. Examples:
1234 3 (1st round)1234 3 2 (single round)
1234 3 (2nd round)1234 3 (resulting data)
1234 3 (resulting data)
NOTE: Parity is a number derived automatically by the dialer utilizing a mathematical
formula (modulo 15). For example: 123 3 adds up to 9. This is subtracted from the next
highest multiple of 15; in this case, 15 - 9 = 6. If the CS receiver accepts a valid parity digit,
it considers the data transmission valid, delivers a “kissoff,” and processes the data. The
parity digit is not displayed. Its only purpose is for validation of data transmitted. It is not a
programmable digit; it is generated automatically by the dialer when the parity option is
selected in programming question 04, location 2. The obvious advantage of using parity is
speed. The transmission time between dialer and receiver is shorter because fewer digits are
transmitted with it as opposed to without it.
Extended (3X1 Ext. or 4X1 Ext.)
The Extended Reporting Format: AAA EZ or AAAA EZ
Where:
AAAA = 3- or 4-digit account number (programming questions 09 and 10)
E = Single-digit Event code; it is the first of the 2 programmable Reporting code digits
Z = Zone or user identifier; it is the second of the 2 programmable Reporting code digits
Extended format is transmitted in Pulse and involves a 3- or 4-digit account number followed
by a double-digit reporting code. T h e only purpose for using the Extended format (sometimes
known as Universal or Expanded format) is to be able to transmit more than 15 codes to the
CS receiver. It does this by extendin g the Event code from the previous round of data,
resulting in a 2-digit reporting code. It can be transmitted with parity (2 rounds of dat a) or
without parity (4 rounds of data). There are 15 possible event codes, each of which can have
15 different zone or user identifiers. As a result, a total of 225 individual events can be
reported. Examples:
Partial Extended (3X1 Part. Ext. or 4X1 Part. Ext.)
The Partial Extended Reporting Format: AAA EZ or AAAA EZ
A–2
Where:
AAAA = 3- or 4-digit account number (Program Questions 09 and 10)
E = Single-digit Event code; it is the first of the 2 programmable Reporting code digits
Z = Zone or user identifier; it is the second of the 2 programmable Reporting code digits
Page 79
3X2 or 4X2
Appendix A - Central Station Reporting Formats
The Partial Extended format is a combination of both the Standard and Extended formats. It
transmits in Pulse a standard message for alarm conditions and an extended message for
restores and other system conditions. To report a standard message, enter a numerical digit
(0 - 9) in the first of the 2-digit reporting code; for an extended message, enter a hexadecimal
digit (B - F) in the first of the 2-digit reporting code. The extended messages are used
whenever a zone or user identification is needed (bypasses, restores, openings/closings, etc.).
It can also transmit with and without parity. Examples:
The 3X2 or 4X2 Reporting Format: AAA EZ or AAAA EZ
Where:
AAAA = 3- or 4-digit account number (Program Questions 09 and 10)
E = Single-digit Event code; it is the first of the 2 programmable Reporting code digits
Z = Zone or user identifier; it is the second of the 2 programmable Reporting code digits
This format is also in Pulse and is an alternative to the Extended format; it also transmits a
2-digit reporting code. Its specific meaning is a 3- or 4-digit account number followed by a 2digit alarm code. It can be transmitted with parity (1 round of data) or without parity (2
rounds of data). There are 15 possible Event codes, each of which can have 15 different zone
identifiers. As a result, a total of 225 individual events can be reported. It is different from
the extended format in the way it transmits. This is illustrated in the examples below:
AAAA = 3- or 4-digit account number (Program Questions 09 and 10)
E = Single-digit Event code; it is the first of the 2 programmable Reporting code digits
Z = Zone or user identifier; it is the second of the 2 programmable Reporting code digits
This format transmits in DTMF a total of 7 digits (including the parity digit). This format is
similar to the Extended or 4X2 formats in that it can transmit a total of 225 individual
reporting events. However, its advantage is speed because it transmits touch-tones instead of
pulses, and it always sends a parity digit. Examples:
The Point ID Reporting Format: AAAA 18 QXYZ GG ZZZ
Where:
AAAA =4-digit account number (Program Questions 09 and 10)
18 =Uniquely identifies this format to the receiver and to an automation system, but is not
displayed or printed.
Q = Event qualifier, which gives specific event information
1 = New Event or Opening
3 = New Restore or Closing
XYZ = Event Code: The Event code is a 3-digit code (3 decimal digits). For zone alarms and
some conditions, this can be specified; other conditions are dedicated (see the tables below).
GG = Group number; this panel reports the group number stored in question 30.
ZZZ = Zone, sensor or user identifier (3 decimal digits). For zone conditions, this is the
physical point number as programmed within the individual point (01 - 32). For user
initiated actions such as openings/closings, this is the actual user number (01 - 15).
This format is also known as ADEMCO Contact ID. A total of 16 digits (including the parity
digit) are sent in DTMF. It enables reporting of 999 (001 - 999) unique zone or user
identifiers instead of the 15 possible identifiers of most other pulse formats. This feature
allows the full reporting capability of this system (32 points and 15 users). In addition, it
transmits at a much greater speed than the conventional pulse formats, because it uses
DTMF (touch-tones) instead of pulses to transmit the data, and it always sends a parity
digit. Its main advantage over all the other formats is its large number of Event codes (see
tables below) with the ability to pinpoint an event (alarm, trouble, bypass, restore, etc.) to a
specific sensor (up to 32 points in this system) and to report openings/closings for many users
(up to 15 users in this system).
For some reporting codes, the first of the two programmable digits determines the PID Event
code to be transmitted. Other reporting codes transmit a dedicated PID Event code
regardless of the digit programmed in the first location. In both cases, if transmissions are
not desired, program AA in locations 1 and 2. Refer to the following tables to select the PID
Event codes to be transmitted.

While this system is an advanced design security system, it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary, fire, or other
emergency. Any alarm system, whether commercial or residential, is subject to compromise or failure to warn for a variety of
reasons. For example:
• Intruders may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical sophistication to bypass an alarm sensor
or disconnect an alarm warning device.
• Intrusion detectors (e.g., passive infrared detectors), smoke detectors, and many other sensing devices will not work
without power. Battery-operated devices will not work without batteries, with dead batteries, or improperly installed
batteries. Devices powered solely by AC will not work if their AC power supply is cut off for any reason, however briefly.
• Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal before they reach the alarm receiver. Even if
the signal path has been recently checked during a weekly test, blockage can occur if a metal object is moved into the
path.
• A user may not be able to reach a panic or emergency button quickly enough.
• While smoke detectors have played a key role in reducing residential fire deaths in the United States, they may not
activate or provide early warning for a variety of reasons in as many as 35% of all fires, according to data published by
the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Some of the reasons smoke detectors used in conjunction with this
system may not work are as follows: Smoke detectors may have been improperly installed and positioned. Smoke
detectors may not sense fires that start where smoke cannot reach the detectors, such as in chimneys, in walls or roofs,
or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors may not sense a fire on another level of a residence or building. A
second-floor detector, for example, may not sense a first-floor or basement fire. Moreover, smoke detectors have
sensing limitations. No smoke detector can sense every kind of fire every time. In general, detectors may not always
warn about fires caused by carelessness and safety hazards like smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas,
improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches, or arson.
Depending on the nature of the fire and/or the location of the smoke detectors, the detector, even if it operates as
anticipated, may not provide sufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to prevent injury or death.
• Passive infrared motion detectors can detect intrusion only within the designed ranges as diagrammed in their
installation manual. Passive infrared detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They do create multiple beams
of protection, and intrusion can be detected only in unobstructed areas covered by the beams. They cannot detect
motion or intrusion that takes place behind walls, ceilings, floors, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors, or windows.
Mechanical tampering, masking, painting, or spraying of any material on the mirrors, windows, or any part of the optical
system can reduce their detection ability. Passive infrared detectors sense changes in temperature; however, as the
ambient temperature of the protected area approaches the temperature range of 90° to 150°F, the detection
performance can decrease.
• Alarm warning devices, such as sirens, bells, or horns, may not alert people or wake up sleepers who are located on the
other side of closed or partly open doors. If warning devices sound on a different level of the residence from the
bedrooms, then they are less likely to waken or alert people inside the bedrooms. Even persons who are awake may not
hear the warning if the alarm is muffled by noise from a stereo, radio, air conditioner, or other appliances, or by passing
traffic. Finally, alarm warning devices, however loud, may not warn hearing-impaired people or waken deep sleepers.
• Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to a central monitoring station may be temporarily or
permanently out of service. Telephone lines are also subject to compromise by sophisticated intruders.
• Even if the system responds to the emergency as intended, however, occupants may have insufficient time to protect
themselves from the emergency situation. In the case of a monitored alarm system, authorities may not respond
appropriately.
• This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure. Even though this equipment is designed to
last as long as 10 years, the electronic components cou ld fail at any t ime.
The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning when an intrusion or fire occurs is inadequate maintenance. This
alarm system should be tested weekly to make sure all sensors are working properly. Installing an alarm system may make
one eligible for lower insurance rates, but an alarm system is not a substitute for insurance. Homeowners, property owners,
and renters should continue to act prudently in protecting themselves and continue to insure their lives and property.
We continue to develop new and improved protection devices. Users of alarm systems owe it to themselves and their loved
ones to learn about these developments.
This equipment has been tested to FCC requirements and has been found acceptable for use. The FCC requires the following
statement for your information.
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions, may cause interference to radio and television reception. It has been tested and found to
comply with the limits of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference
in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• If using an indoor antenna, have a quality outdoor antenna installed.
• Reorient the receiving antenna until interference is reduced or eliminated.
• Move the radio or television receiver away from the control/communicator.
• Move the antenna leads away from any wire runs to the control/communicator.
• Plug the control/communicator into a different outlet so that it and the radio or television receiver are on different branch
circuits.
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions.
The user may find the “Interference Handbook,” prepared by the Federal Communications Commission, helpful. This booklet is
available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. Stock No. 004-000-00450-7.
The user shall not make any changes or modifications to the equipment unless authorized by the Installation and Setup Guide
or User Guide. Unauthorized changes or modifications could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
In the Event of Telephone Operational Problems
In the event of telephone operational problems, disconnect the control panel by removing the plug from the RJ31X (CA38A in
Canada) wall jack. We recommend that you demonstrate disconnecting the phones upon installation of the system. Do not
disconnect the phone connection inside the control panel. Doing so will result in the loss of your phone lines. If the regular
phone works correctly after the control panel has been disconnected from the phone lines, the control panel has a problem
and should be returned for repair. If, upon disconnection of the control panel, there is still a problem on the line, notify the
telephone company that it has a problem, and request prompt repair service. The user may not under any circumstances (in or
out of warranty) attempt any service or repairs to the system. It must be returned to the factory or an authorized service
agency for all repairs.
